What's your PH? More details about your set up might help too. Heat Humidity etc. Just keep in mind that PH is different between soil and hydroponic. Depending on your set up the PH might have to be constantly corrected every day or two. I do mine every day. You will want it at 5.7ish I drop it down to 5.5 or so and let it climb back up to 6 roughly and my plants are happy. Newbie here though might want to wait for the experts to chime in.

Id say weedmiller is on the right track .
also how long did this take ?
was it too close to a light ?
how the humidity ?
what are you feeding at what ph?

ill prolly have to hit you up tomorrow though gonna crash soon

honestly I haven't had problems in soo long I dont have the deficiencies chart memorized any more lol.
but ill go try to find my old cheat sheet

I suggest you find a good deficiency chart by real growers of MJ and print it out read it alot and this stuff will come second nature to you.

Theres not" too "much that can go wrong that you cant fix

I take all advice in consideration so thank you for your input and I run a 2.5 gallon tub ph check it daily at first day or two usually need adjustment but fine after for remainder of week I use the gh flora series also if anybody has the general hydroponics test kits and wanna post a pic perfect color as a reference for me that would be appreciated and my temps stay between 76/81 with 41% humidity

Might be bad lighting but that test vial looked green to me. I don't use General hydroponics but the 2 different kits I did use Green was 7+ for PH. I needed yellow or light orange for it to be in range. What color does your chart say it should be for the 5.5 - 6.0 range? Also is your water circulated back into your Res? If it is I have a hard time believing your PH holds at proper PH for a week. I run a 1.5 Gallon and 3 Gallon. I used to correct every 2 days but found my plants react better if I correct daily. I have never seen the PH hold for more than a couple days. Not saying you are wrong but these are things I am finding strange. Your temp and humidity is a little bit on the high end compared to me but I don't believe its enough to harm your girls. I'm stuck on this PH thing for now.

it looks like a re-vegged clone? Did you take this off your girl while she was flowering?

that is what I've heard so I'm confused if doing correctly and since frowned upon jn this state nobody go bring to ask need to save up for s digi so j can be more accurate because I don't know if the water should be the color orange but uts a yellow greenish color at 6 I think like I said I'm not sure honestly that why in on here

Can you post a picture of your PH Chart. Your ph needs to be below 6. You will want it in the 5.5 - 6 range. From the research I have done and pictures of charts for GH you will want it to be yellow/orange. Yours could be different I suppose so a pic of your chart would help a lot. I have a PH combo pen. I don't prefer it because it constantly has to be calibrated and seems to be finicky. I have got the results I need from a similar test kit that you have. Also there are numerous reasons why someone would want gauge PH. Fishtanks and legal indoor growing being a couple. My hydroponic store speaks openly to me about anything / everything so I guess I'm lucky but there are other ways to speak to people cautiously if needed.

that look

that looks like the issue km gonna add some ph down and see what happens any idea on how many mills I should use with out over doing it?

Try 1 ml of PH Down stir it up and check PH again after 10 min or so. Better to start off low and add more then to mess it up right off the hop. Send me a pic of roots and PH chart.

When in doubt always good to start out fresh. I prefer using R/O water to start because I don't have to correct it to start, you do however have to add Cal Mag so research R/O if that's a route you are interested in. People that use tap water leave it out overnight and get the PH correct before adding. You don't necessarily have to start fresh either it is easy to correct that whole res with just a little bit o PH down. Up to you. If it is almost due anyway might be a good idea.
